    This is much like gambling: High expectations, but it always ends with disappointment. Welcome to Vegas!

    What the hell is the point of this race. It is making me not want to watch the rest of the season. Everything is all clinched up anyway.

    I live one time zone away from this track and I can’t watch any of it because it is all past my bedtime.

    It is a NASCAR race because the only reason to watch it is for the crashes.

      Yea, it’s certainly not for the American market. No one in America will be awake to watch it.

      It is going to be a fun race though since no one has an data on it. It’s a blank slate.

      I’ll just watch it the day after and try not to have it spoiled.

    The corners look to come straight from a cheap indoor karting track. They’re there because they need to be and don’t allow fun or interesting driving. Combined with the gaudy surroundings the commentators are being forced to say is spectacular this looks like such a dumb track. Isn’t Vegas in the desert or something? They should have a built a new track outside of the city.

      If you have F1TV you can eek out another five minutes of action watching Sainz’ onboard, as his car is loaded on a flat bed.
